I was looking all over for a vinegar coleslaw-I now see that I should call it -German. I was not surprised because my family is german and it is a grandma specialty. thanks.

I made this for 14 people at my bbq. Because my dh is German I add chopped bacon and the bacon grease but reduced the oil (for the sake of our health, lol). Everyone loved it so much that I had none left over. Will be making this often.

Great recipe. Kids loved it. I always make the recipe exactly as written the first time and then adapt it if I make it again. I might reduce the oil (I used Canola) next time to lower the calories and possibly try Splenda in place of the sugar for my diabetic friends. I served it with barbeque chicken. I will definitely make it again.

Easy recipe, very yummy!! To make it healthier, I only used 1 tablespoon of sugar and I replaced the vegetable oil with extra virgin olive oil. Matches well with grilled hamburgers! My husband loved it and I will make this again.

Wonderful Slaw - I used a 16oz bag of chopped cabbage and added diced green, red pepper and onion. Otherwise I used 1/2 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup oil. Added less salt and celery seed - I've been looking for a long time for such an easy recipe -- thank you allrecipes for this site.

This recipe makes a great coleslaw. I found it a little on the sweet side, and like others suggested I will use less oil next time. It still tasted super. I highly recommend it!

I halved this recipe for my mom and I for dinner. We loved it. She took half my leftovers home with her. I had never had warm coleslaw before. I was surprised at how delicious it was. I will definitely make this again.

Very pleasant flavor and a no-fuss preparation, so this earns a 5-star. I followed the recipe with no changes and the end result was just what I was hoping it would be - a non-creamy slaw with a great flavor. Just a note: please don't "downgrade" a recipe if you don't follow the steps precisely. It is possible to alter a recipe and still give the original 5 stars, (for flexibility!), but it's not right to assign a lukewarm or negative rating if you didn't actually make the recipe as written.

Good. I'd rate this 4 but it's my own fault for not having green onions or celery seed. But without those two items, it is worth a 4 so you just know it's going to be even better with those other ingredients. I think next time I will do half the dressing though.

Very good! I was looking for a cole slaw recipe that used oil and vinegar instead of mayo and this is a superb recipe! I put in a little less sugar and salt and omitted the onions as we are a non-onion eating family and it was great just on the cabbage!

This was really good... after sitting a while (the slaw, that is). I used a large head of cabbage and added shredded carrot for much-needed color. I successfully used 1/4 of the oil. I tried adding half the sugar, but in the end used the full amount, and was satisfied with the result. I myself wasn't too ecstatic about the celery seed, and will lessen it somewhat next time...there WILL be a next time =) Oh, I agree that the recipe (if made as directed) has too much dressing, but a good part of the liquid in the bowl is actually the liquid the given off by the cabbage (the salt wilts it).

Different and delicious! I took the advice of others and cut back on the oil and sugar. I added in the vinegar to taste and just for fun threw in some caraway seeds. My kids won't eat mayo based cole slaw but this they loved! Thanks so much Joyce!!

This recipe was exactly what I was looking for! My 8 year old loves cole slaw - not the mayo kind - so I was looking for a quick and easy recipe to throw together. This was perfect. I bought the bag of cole slaw (no dressing) which had green cabbage, red cabbage and carrots already in it. I made it exactly like the recipe said since I was using a large bag of slaw - yes there was too much dressing, but that was no big deal. The celery seeds are key. Fantastic recipe - will definitely make again.

Excellent recipe! I added shaved fennel & red bell pepper slivers; & reduced the oil to 1/3 cup & the sugar to 1/2 cup. My husband ate every bite, which was amazing, as he's not a big vegetable eater. He remarked by saying "yum!" a few times. That warrants 5 stars in my book.

I love this type of coleslaw. A good substitude for my friends russ's--he passed away and took the recipe with him. His recipe was had a lot of oil as well so this one seemed very close. Made exactly the first time, I always do, then tweaked a second time with red cabbage and red bell pepper--just a bit of bell pepper. Turned out GREAT!!!!

I have not made this exact recipe, but have made on that is very simmilar. It also sees to have too much dressing, but since we make the slaw on a regular basis, we just save it for the next batch.

An excellent slaw--both tangy and sweet. It always gets compliments. I've been making this for years from a friend's recipe, and it also calls for equal amounts of sugar, oil and white vinegar (1/2 cup each). I use slightly less oil--about 1/3 cup when using 1/2 cup of vinegar and sugar. I find this amount is good for one head of cabbage and a bag of "broccoli slaw" which I like to add for more color and veggies.

This is delicious! I cut way back on the oil--I used just 1/4 cup, as other reviewers suggested, and it was just right. If you like a sweet slaw, as I do, I do not recommend cutting back on the sugar. The very first time I made this, a friend asked me for the recipe!
